Chapter 276

"Do you reckon she's gonna end up waiting on the old man hand and foot?"

Just the thought of delicate Greta having to cater to Patrick's every whim tugged at Miranda's heart. "Cameron loves her too much to let her do all that dirty, exhausting stuff."

"But what if Cameron's hit rock bottom and can't afford to hire someone to look after Patrick?" Nathalie wondered aloud.

Miranda's face fell at that. She insisted on going back, "This place is way too posh for me. I'm just a simple old lady. Please, let me go back."

Nathalie didn't budge.

Lizzy had had enough of Miranda's whining. With a mischievous grin, she pinched Miranda's chin and teased, "Oh, you old gal. I oughta dig out that twisted heart of yours and see what's inside.

Miranda's eyes flickered with guilt.
